[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that in the private sector, you are working to make the shareholders rich.  You might be a shareholder, but small change.

While the shareholders are vacationing several times a year, you are at their mercy working to fund their lifestyles.[/quote]

Your point is ........?[/quote]

NP, but the point seems to be why kill yourself to make somebody else richer?[/quote]

Another NP; I don't lay it all at the feet of the shareholders but I've long since given up on doing anything "for the team" or "for the company." Despite the lip service, no company I've worked for has ever given a rats a-- about its people. Work is work - that's why they give you money. Satisfaction and personal growth may come from your personal relationships with people in your workplace. What we're accomplishing? Dust in the wind. It gets easier when you become a parent, people in your life die, you get laid off, you pick up a new hobby in middle age, etc.

My career? It's a paycheck. That's it.[/quote]
